Costco Gas Powered RSX

This is just too damn funny...from clubrsx.com

Stay away from that costco gas!!!!!

I was on the way back home after full dinner in Irvine jambori and I sw this brand new 2004 sti then I wanted to see how fast it is, but the driver was kinda avoiding me....i guess he just bought it. sincei got pissed off, i ws driving back to my homie~~~but this silver wrx ( ithink 2003+ some mod) passed me in corner, of course I feel like beating the ugly wrx i kick V-tech followed him. cool we got stopped on red signal. and we launched but I missed 2nd cuz my stomach was so full~y^_^ couldn't push clutch lol
so we stopped next signal again. this time I launched alright, but in 2nd rpm was rising so so slowly and I couldn't feel the explosion in engin.....when i barely kicked V tech, the wrx was already 1 car length front me damm!!! all my full stomach happiness turned into such despair...
It was not my driving i have done 100 times, even when I raced with supra TT, I didn't have this huge defeat.-.-
and I had to come up with some reason why I could lose this miserably...and it was costco gas...it's very cheap but since i put it, I definately feel low power. anyone has this experincee or any idea?

What's wrong with costco gas? That junk is cheap and has been getting me everywhere I go. The driver lost cuz he can't drive. Most people who have to blame their loss on something other than thier skill is mos def a POS driver. It reminds me of that WRX driver who blamed his loss b/c of having the defrost button engaged.

I use Costco gas all the time. I also use 76 and those are about the only 2 brands I use. I did try Shell once and I felt my car had less power (wasn't racing anyone). It basically felt as if the turbo was pushing 5 psi lower in every gear I guess it could be because the ecu doesn't recognize the different brand of gas going in.

But anyways, I have heard Costco gas is not good to use if you have a turbo upgrade. It sometimes causes knock problems.

What a typical ricer. "Hurry up, I need an excuse why VTEC lost the race."

Our Costco does not have gas, so I can't comment on that. Personally, I wouldn't trust it. They *probably* do the same thing that Wawa does and shop for the cheapest supplier, so getting good gas is a crap shoot. I only use Ultra 94 because it is the only pump gas that has Methanol in it. (not counting race gas)
